Spam that almost passes the non-stupidity test
Occasionally for amusement I check the quarantined bulk e-mails for new mutations. Here's a subject header that certainly took my eye:
Sender "Zhenthim74" <supportexplorer@sweforums.com>

That's really impressive. They're out to catch you, and for many a typical user it could well ring alarm bells. Even if they themself don't post their e-mail address in comments it's quite possible someone else could. And the way it's written is just so cool and professional. It's not "What does this post mean? ...oceanographic" or the like. And pointing out the window; and a full postal address. My, my.
Pity the To-list contains nine visible names all in the ZE-range of the same ISP. Then copying the text to here reveals the white bits contain the usual preacherflannelspreventedBhutancontract stuff. But nice try.
A websearch shows that there's a bona fide entity sweforum, and that this fake plural version sweforums has only just been registered.
